Before: I started a new YouTube channel.
After: I posted 12 videos to an empty channel. Video 13 finally showed me what was wrong.
Generic finance claim
Before: Compound interest is powerful.
After: $500 a month at 7% does not reach $1 million in 20 years. The missing ingredient is time.
Generic warning
Before: Do not make this mistake.
After: I built the logo before checking the handle. That mistake cost me the name.
